Review for model:

Helikon socks are very pleasant to the touch, they don't chafe during use, they're comfortable, and I feel good in them even with Gore-Tex shoes, they wick away moisture. I still need to test them in the summer.

Great socks. I wear them every day in high work shoes and have nothing to complain about. Nothing bothers me and nothing slips. As for durability, I can't find any faults either.

Very good socks, as others noticed, they are a bit thick, but this does not affect comfort. I recommend them for long hikes, especially with good boots.

The sock material has changed for the better, just like Helikon-tex underwear, which is now more modern. The socks may wear out faster because they're thin, but in return, they ventilate the feet very well in boots and are extremely comfortable.

Nice socks, they wick away sweat and moisture well, although they are quite warm, so they'll work all year round. Unfortunately, after a few months a hole appeared.

Good day. I will try to be fair in my assessment... The socks were tested with "Bennon Commodore Light 01 Brown" shoes at 36°C in the shade, a few walks up to 1 km in the city, then a long time indoors without air conditioning, shoes on my feet for a total of 9 hours. During the day it was warm, but my feet didn’t overheat, no chafing or blisters reported, and my legs didn't feel particularly tired. After taking off my shoes, my feet remained dry – they didn’t leave wet marks on the floor or in the socks. I am very satisfied. I rate them 5. I will return for more pairs for the whole work week. I recommend!

Perfect socks for hot days. When combined with good footwear, they effectively wick moisture away from the shoe. Often on sale at Militaria.pl – that's usually where I buy Helikon products. I definitely recommend them.

I think the price is a bit high. However, the materials are well chosen. For me, the sock is a bit too long, although my foot fits perfectly in it. I noticed that my feet sweat less in them – at least according to my feelings.

The weight of 92g must include packaging, as my scale shows 65g, which is evident in the sock's construction. The sole and back are fine, thickness is average – enough for trekking and longer walks, but the upper part of the sock is a very thin material that slides on the foot when walking. With intensive activity, the material doesn’t handle moisture well, and during rainy hikes, blisters or abrasions from laces are easy to get. They may work for light outings on summer days, but for serious hiking I prefer other brands – Smartwool, Bridgedale, Brubeck, etc.

Another great product from Helikon – a Polish manufacturer, excellent quality. Worth buying. The socks are already being used, and you can feel the comfort immediately after putting them on. After a whole day of use, they are still fresh.

I decided to try several brands of coolmax socks: Pentagon, M-tac, Wisport, and these turned out to be definitely the best. Surprisingly comfortable for warm days, comfortable and they wear well.

They are worth their price.

After very positive experiences using the warmest Helikon socks with Merino wool, I decided to buy the lightest version for summer. After a few longer outings, I am impressed – they fit perfectly, are comfortable and breathable, and my feet don't sweat in them.

Unfortunately, after nine months of intensive use, a large hole appeared in the heel. It's a pity because I really liked them.

The socks are pleasant to the touch and very comfortable.
